Internet-Draft YANG-TYPES September 20081. Introduction
YANG [YANG] is a data modeling language used to model configuration
and state data manipulated by the NETCONF [RFC4741] protocol. The
YANG language supports a small set of built-in data types and
provides mechanisms to derive other types from the built-in types.
This document introduces a collection of common data types derived
from the built-in YANG data types. The definitions are organized in
several YANG modules. The "yang-types" module contains generally
useful data types. The "inet-types" module contains definitions that
are relevant for the Internet protocol suite while the "ieee-types"
module contains definitions that are relevant for IEEE 802 protocols.
Their derived types are generally designed to be applicable for
modeling all areas of management information.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP14, [RFC2119].

Counters have no defined `initial' value, and thus, a
single value of a counter has (in general) no information
content. Discontinuities in the monotonically increasing
value normally occur at re-initialization of the
management system, and at other times as specified in the
description of an object instance using this type. If
such other times can occur, for example, the creation of
an object instance of type counter32 at times other than
re-initialization, then a corresponding object should be
defined, with an appropriate type, to indicate the last
discontinuity.
The counter32 type should not be used for configuration
objects. A default statement should not be used for
attributes with a type value of counter32.
This type is in the value set and its semantics equivalent
to the Counter32 type of the SMIv2.";

Counters have no defined `initial' value, and thus, a

an object instance of type counter32 at times other than
re-initialization, then a corresponding object should be
defined, with an appropriate type, to indicate the last

The counter32 type should not be used for configuration

##
## Provided that an application discovers the new object within
## the minimum time to wrap it can use the initial value as a
## delta since it last polled the table of which this object is
